Managed detection and response provider Blackpoint Cyber unveiled CompassOne today at RSAC 2025 and Kaseya Connect 2025, a unified security posture and response platform designed to help MSPs advance their clients’ cybersecurity maturity.
CompassOne builds on Blackpoint’s existing platform, unifying preemptive measures with real-time detection. The platform provides MSPs with complete visibility and context across their customer’s entire attack surface—devices, identities, cloud, and SaaS environments—guided prioritization, and expert-driven insights to continuously improve and measure their security posture.
With CompassOne, MSPs will be able to “look at prevention and detection, response and recovery from one single lens,” says Manoj Srivastava, chief technology and product officer at Blackpoint Cyber.
With a single view of security posture, MSPs will be “able to respond to things that really matter and spend your dollars on things that really makes sense for you to protect. So that’s why we’ve created this category that we call unified security posture,” he tells MSP Success. Historically, he says, MSPs have had different tools for prevention, detection, response, and recovery. “It really puts burden on the MSPs … to make sense of it all. The reality is that when you have the threats, the attacks, they’re not operating in silos. So why should your defenses operate in silos?”
A Look Inside the CompassOne Platform
CompassOne builds on Blackpoint’s existing platform, which already offered 24/7 SOC; application control to block unauthorized software and prevent ransomware, zero-day exploits, and insider threats; and LogIC (Logging with Integrated Compliance) for capturing, storing, and analyzing security logs automatically to meet regulatory standards and pass audits.
New modules include vulnerability management; cloud posture management to continuously monitor and fix security misconfigurations in Microsoft 365; and a letter-grade security posture rating system based on the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) to track cybersecurity maturity and compliance progress over time
With a unified view of security posture, Srivastava says, “MSP can step back and talk to clients and help them measure where their overall security posture is, looking at all the various aspects of cybersecurity and help guide them to the maturity. So no longer are you having a conversation of, ‘Hey, I want you to buy this product,’ but instead now you’re becoming a cybersecurity advisor to those clients having a risk-based conversation.”
By helping clients understand their risks and areas they need to invest in, “that becomes a more strategic conversation and that’s ultimately what the clients are looking for.”
He adds, “It’s really to guide MSPs and how they can better sell the value to their clients.”
Blackpoint’s Roadmap
Blackpoint will be adding other modules to CompassOne, Srivastava says.
The NIST framework comprises five elements: identify, detect, protect, respond, and recover. “We’ve got metrics for each of them.” Blackpoint has modules for everything but backup currently. “We will be adding a module that’s focused on backup. It may be an integration with a strategic partner so that way you don’t need to go to another tool, another vendor.”
He says Blackpoint is also considering adding email security and security awareness training.
MSP partners that are currently licensing the Blackpoint Response Bundle can upgrade for a fee to CompassOne Standard Edition. The company is also offering a lower-priced edition called CompassOne Essentials. “That’s really focused on tenants who are earlier on this cybersecurity journey, Srivastava says. “They just want to have a trusted partner in detecting and responding to the alerts. They’re not ready to really focus on the proactive part of the cybersecurity journey.” Pricing will be per endpoint or per cloud account.
Blackpoint would like MSPs to consider CompassOne “your one-stop platform,” Srivastava says.
